<strong>Kenneth</strong> <strong>Kihm</strong>Magnavox Pr<strong>of</strong>essor in Mechanical,Aerospace and Biomedical <strong>Engineering</strong>
Dr. <strong>Kenneth</strong> <strong>Kihm</strong> is the University <strong>of</strong> Tennessee<strong>College</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Engineering</strong>’s Magnavox Pr<strong>of</strong>essor in theDepartment <strong>of</strong> Mechanical, Aerospace and Biomedical<strong>Engineering</strong>.The Magnavox Pr<strong>of</strong>essorship was established in 1981by the Magnavox Company, predecessor to NAPConsumer Electronics Corporation, to recognize facultyfor superior teaching and research accomplishments.A pioneer in the field <strong>of</strong> micro/nano fluidics and transport,<strong>Kihm</strong> studies the engineering properties for highthroughput cytometry (mechanized counting and measuring)<strong>of</strong> target cells such as cancer and stem cells. Healso examines nanoscale topology for cellular boundaries/surfacesand bio-nanoparticle tracking inside cells.<strong>Kihm</strong> has established the Micro/Nano Fluidics andEnergy Transport (MINSFET) laboratory, equippedwith advanced optics, for interdisciplinary researchcombining mechanical engineering with biomedical,materials science and other areas <strong>of</strong> research.
